    Forgot your 3rd gen. I did find videos for 2nd gen fix. New one was about $400+.

    Tried multiple times to reply to a few things and still getting javascript error bullshit.

    Anyways....

    Brian the leaf pack squeak is soooooo anoying for me too

    Jonny I thought my vibration was from lift as well, shim kit from OME didnt do squat because I had a center support bracket blow out and was full of dirt (haha). Also 2 of 3 ujoints were dry - after removal 1 was even broken. Replaced everything and huge difference and zero vibration now.

    Going solo to 600-1 600-2 sometime this week just to get out if anyone is in area.

    Wanting to replace the 5100s w/885s and 5100s w/icon leaf pack soon (installed back in october 2019 I think, I forget) I'd like to stay in the $2500 range including UCAs.....Dobinson best route maybe? Not higher lift really....just better. I'll probably regret this tho haha

    Here’s a pic of the rear drive line angle. Not severe but definitely not ideal.

    Mine looks about like that. The CB drop kit did help a bit, but I think those 2 degree 4crawler shims will help tremendously. I watched that video that @JBTacoma posted and another one like it here on TW and it gives tons of info about your driveline angles. I picked up a digital angle gauge from Lowe's for $30. Helped me determine to go with 2 degrees.

    No clue on the video. Must have missed it. As for angles I’ll just use a straight edge and math :). Save me $30 and a 45 minute drive to jasper Home Depot.

    I was at St. Vincent's Occupational Health Clinic, waiting for a drug screen and pre-employment physical...o_O It was quite uncomfortable waiting in that lobby with so many people coming and going.

    Make sure you get shims that bolt to your leaf pack. Not ones that slide in or just sit there.

    I got the 4crawler steel ones with longer center pins, the man sure knows a thing or two about building custom shims! I plan on knocking it all out when my Archive flip kit/bumps come in.

    You figure out everything wrong with your truck yet?

    Dude I am stoked. It’s massive. Plenty of room for me Amy and the dogs. So easy to assemble and take down.
